Congratulations to @TTUPoliSci students Samuel, Kimberly, Sofia, & Amber for being inducted into Phi Beta Kappa! Very honored to be named alongside @moriahharman as an influential professor, and grateful to have the opportunity to teach dedicated students such as these.

[Heather M. Kopp @hmkopp6]

From new faculty orientation to graduation, my 1st fall at TTU is over. Thank you @TTUPoliSci for being so welcoming & caring. Also thankful for a celebratory end back at MU being hooded by @LaronKWilliams & Stephen Quackenbush, the two who've been there for me from the start.

[Laron K Williams @LaronKWilliams]

The most rewarding thing in my profession is seeing a student you recruited to @Mizzou graduate with her PhD. (Never mind that she's already an assistant professor at @TTUPoliSci).

Congratulations, @hmkopp6!

[Heather M. Kopp @hmkopp6]

@LaronKWilliams @Mizzou @TTUPoliSci Thank you, Laron! Thanks for being such an incredible DGS and advisor to me for all these years. I'm always grateful to have your support & mentorship. I'd choose Mizzou all over again in a minute if I had to.

[Heather M. Kopp @hmkopp6]

@therealmattlamb I'm still very new to town and was surprised to have felt it, but glad to hear it's not that common!

[Heather M. Kopp @hmkopp6]

@Johnkbonilla @uidaho Congratulations, John!! Hope you have a great start to the fall semester!

@joelasievert @MizzouTSGPA @LaronKWilliams @BradJNichols Thanks, Joel! I'm excited to head down there soon!

[Heather M. Kopp @hmkopp6]

Today, I defended my dissertation @MizzouTSGPA. I feel very lucky to have Stephen Quackenbush and @LaronKWilliams as my advisors, and I genuinely cannot thank them, Bryce Reeder, and @BradJNichols enough for being the best and most supportive committee I could have.

[Laron K Williams @LaronKWilliams]

Congrats to Heather for her successful defense this afternoon. Texas Tech is getting a good one!
